2. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZZc4zA7Lsg Choose a person to sit in the Mastermind chair. The rest of the group writes questions to ask them on a set subject. The person is then asked questions in turn by the rest of the group. A scorer counts the amount of correct answers this person gets in 3 minutes.

3. You have a post-it on your desk. Look around the room and you will see two Statements. Your teacher will tell you to write an example on the post-it note to stick next to one of the statements. You will be then asked to check the post-it notes by the other statement:

4. You are being given two pupils’ work on topics you are currently learning about. One is done correctly and one has one or more errors. You need to decide which one is correct: vote TICK and which one is incorrect: vote TRASH. Use the tick and cross pages in your homework diary to vote TICK or TRASH!!

5. Work in groups of 3. Take it in turns to be the speaker, the guesser and the shaker! The speaker has to get the guesser to say the word on the left WITHOUT saying any of the words on the right! The shaker has a shaker which is shaken if the taboo words are used! The objective is to get the guesser to say as many words as possible in the time limit. You will change places after a few minutes. KEY WORDNOT ALLOWED Hundred PercentageFraction Number Decimal

18. You have a post-it note. You are now going to consider the concept you have learned today and how it links to other topics. Write down on your post-it note a link to another topic. Take it in turns to stick your post-it notes on a link on the chain. Now read all the links and discuss as a class.

19. Consider the class tool-kit. What tools have we needed to solve the problems met in class today? e.g percentages, squaring, calculation of volumes. Individuals will be asked to come and get the laminated tools out of the toolbox.

20. Make a quick time-line of the lesson. This should be chronological with 10 minute increments showing what happened in the lesson. Get the students to mark on the timeline where they learnt a number of things or where they felt that they could answer the learning objective. If you have time swap your timeline with a partner and discuss the difference with your learning.
